To @ZZA-@itam t concern Y- Be itfknown that LVALTER S. SLANGnRUr,

a citizen of the United States, residin atY Omaha, `in the county ofv Douglas and tate of Nebraska, Vhavevinvented certain new and usefulflniprovements'in a Door Mounting, of which the following is a specification.

rli"his invention relates to Van improvement in that class of door mountingsl wherein ic pintles are employed-which projectvertically from the top and bottom of a doorv for bearings in sockets, said mountingV Vbeing found to be of particular advantage for use in connection with, garage-doors where thel floors or thresholds Vare constructed of cement or concrete. Y Y

vThe invention is illustrated and described in connection with a garage door, and has for one of its objects to provide such a construct-ion that eachy vertical wing-plate will be disposed in line with the longitudinal axisof its pintle and will be provided with a bearing-head upon Which the door vmay have a support and which willA permit the door to be mounted'upon eitherv side of the plate. Another object is to :provide such al construction'that no chamfering of a door,y

will be required, and that a wing-plate,

bearing-head and pintle will cons-ist o f a single structure, so that Ythe door may be mounted upon the bearing-heads of the wing-plates after the latter have been disposed with their' pintles engaging in the sockets. Another object is to provide a construction consisting of few and simple parts so that manufacture may be convenient and economical. Y

`Withthe foregoing Vobjects in view the invention prese-nts a novel construction, comscribed hereinV and claimed, and as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein,-.

and a cement or concrete flooror base 6.`

Vl\lui nerals 'i' and 8 indicate a pair of vertically disposed sockets or sleeves used for mounting a single door 12, each sleevepreferably bination and arrangement of parts, 'as de-V beingfl provided f with a.. heademember ror flange a, preferably -of di's'csha'pe, theY sleeve "i being mounted inthe cementor concrete`Y Gfnear the wall, with the top of its flange 'ai disposed inthe plane of.Ytheifloor-surface;

all;

the ,sleeve 8 Vbeing inverted @andl mounted` in' thecross-beam .or other 'support 9.

'5 1 provi le a pair' of-wing-plates 21..barif1efhead @rilassaZ2-'preferably V0f disceforin "at the junction of the plate and 1o.,afei1fY being' provided .with apintle 1 1 and having; Y Y Q51v pintle. l/Vhile the wings 10 may have any s suitable shape, they preferably consist of prongs for suitably Ysupporting the, door when secured thereto. These prongs Vmay have any suitable length depending uponthewidth of a door, and shape is not material.

their particular I In operation, after the wing-plateshave K- been disposed with their pintles engaging in the sleeves, the Adoor is placed in engagement with the disc-shaped heads Z2 at oneri Y of the sides of tliewing-plates, and byl use of keepers c the vdoor is secured thereto. y

Among some of the advantages to be de-L rived by use of the invention vit may be stated that each pintle and bearing-head a lis a part ofa wing, and therefore manufacture may be convenient and economical, and y stresses on the door will be adequately resistedby the engagement of the pintles in the sleeves or sockets. It will beV noted that no'casings for doors will be required since the door swings from the pintles at the top and bottoni. The engaging heads a, and b,

' as described, are of particular advantage in supporting doors of unusualV weight, and

sinceeach wing is disposed in the vertical plane of a pintle the doorY may be mounted upon the outer or inner side of a wing-plate, i

as may be selected, thereby permitting the door to swing inwardly or outwardly with-`Z Y L V While l have described `exact details, 1 .Y f do Vnot wish to be understood asliiniting I A myself in this respect, and changes insize,r VVA forin, proportion and minor details maybe v r p l out changing the construction,

made, said changes being determinedby the scope of the invention as claimed.v

l claim is my inventioinhln a' door mounting a lower vertical sleeve, an upper vertical sleeve each being provided witha iange, 'a pair of wingfplates each being provided with a pintle for en--Fffport and a base support and a door having gaging in a sleeve and having a ange extending outwardl of its sides at its' junction with the pintle or engaging the flange of the sleeve, each Wing-plate being disposed in line with the longitudinal axis of its pintle to permit the door to engage 'a selected side of a Wingplate in engagement withV the flange thereof.

2. In a door mounting7 a lower vertical sleeve-,an upper vertical sleeve, a pair of Wing-plates'each havin a pintle for engaging in a sleeve and having a fiange projecting from its sides at its junction with the pintle for engagin a sleeve, each Wingplate being dispose in line With the longitudinal axis of its pintle to permit the door to engage a selected side of a Wingplate in engagement with the flange thereof.

3. The combination With an upper supa vertical pintle projecting above its top for a pivotal mountin in the upper support, of a vertically disposed sleevein the base support, a wingplateprovidedWitha pintle for engaging in the sleeve and having a disc-shaped iange at its junction with theV pintle for engaging said sleeve, said Wingplatefand thelon'gitudinal axis of its ange being disposed in line with the longitudinal axis of its pintle to permit engagementof the door With said flange and a'seleeted Side of the 'Wing-plate.

In testimony whereof, I have aiiixed my.

signature in presence of two Witnesses.
